Abstract:
A two-phase three-dimensional computational model of an intermediate temperature (120 - 190 ˚C) proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is presented. This represents the first attempt to model PEM fuel cells employing intermediate temperature membranes, in this case, phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI). To date, mathematical modeling of PEM fuel cells has been restricted to low temperature operation, especially to those employing Nafion® membranes; while research on PBI as an intermediate temperature membrane has been solely at the experimental level.

Water electrolysis is one of the first methods used to generate hydrogen and is thus not considered to be a new technology. With advances in proton exchange membrane technology and the global tendency to implement renewable energy, the technology of water electrolysis by implementation of proton exchange membrane as solid electrolyte has developed into a major field of research over the last decade. To gain an understanding of different components of the electrolyser it is best to conduct a performance analysis based on hydrogen production rates and polarisation curves. The study aim was to co

Abstract:
An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using the technique of ultrasonic nebulization of water into the anode gas stream for evaporative cooling of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The basic concept of this form of internal evaporative cooling of the PEM fuel cell is to introduce finely atomized liquid water into the anode gas stream, so that the finely atomized liquid water adsorbs onto the anode and then moves to the cathode via electro-osmotic drag, where this water then evaporates into the relatively dry cathode gas stream, carrying with it the waste ther

In polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells one of the most important components is the flow field.

Abstract:
Two diazonium perfluoroalkyl arylsulfonimide (PFSI) zwitterionic monomers, 4-diazonium perfluoro(3-oxapent-4-ene)benzenesulfonimide (I) and 4-(trifluoromethyl)-2-diazonium perfluoro(3-oxapent-4-ene)benzenesulfonimide (II) have been synthesized from perfluoro(3-oxapent-4-ene) sulfonyl fluoride (POPF) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. PFSI polymers are proposed as new electrolytes due to their better thermal stability, inertness to electrochemical conditions, and lower susceptibility to oxidative degradation and dehydration. For a better integration between the electrode and the electroly

Abstract:
Proton-Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are extremely attractive for replacing internal combustion engines in the next generation of automobiles. However, two major technical challenges remain to be resolved before PEM fuel cells become commercially successful. The first issue is that CO, produced in trace amounts in fuel reformer, severely limits the performance of the conventional platinum-based PEM fuel cell. A possible solution to the CO poisoning is higher temperature operation, as the CO adsorption and oxidation overpotential decrease considerably with increasing temperature. Howev

Abstract:
The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a potential electrochemicalpower device for vehicles, auxiliary power units and small-scale power plants. In themembrane electrode assembly (MEA), which is the core of the PEMFC single cell,oxygen in air and hydrogen electrochemically react on separate sides of a membraneand electrical energy is generated. The main challenges of the technology are associatedwith cost and lifetime. To meet these demands, firstly, the component expensesought to be reduced. Secondly, enabling system operation at elevated temperatures,i.e. up to 120 °C, would decre

Abstract:
Water management is a serious issue that affects the performance and durability of PEM fuel cells. It is known, from previous experimental investigations, that surface wettability has influence on water behaviour and fuel cell performance. This finding has lead researchers to develop numerical tools for further investigation of the liquid water behaviour in gas channels. The Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method has been used in a wide range of studies for its advantage of showing the multi-phase interface in a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to understand liquid water behaviour in gas ch
